Charles's subsequently received letter explained the 'receive company. I could not comprehend it at the time. 'The house has been shut up for years, or rarely inhabited by us for more than a month in the year. Mr. Pollingray prefers France. All his asociations, I may say his sympathies, are in France.
The next day Miss Pollingray joined us, wearing a feutre gris and green plume, which looked exceedingly odd until you became accustomed to it. Her hair has decided gray streaks, and that, and the Queen Elizabeth nose, and the feutre gris! but she is so kind, I could not even smile in my heart. It is singular that Mr.
And then the maid came to my door with a letter: 'Mr. Pollingray, in return for her considerate good behaviour and saving of trouble to him officially, begs his goddaughter to accept the accompanying little animal: height 14 h., age 31 years; hunts, is sure-footed, and likely to be the best jumper in the county. I flew downstairs.
After my unfortunate speech, Mr. Pollingray shunned our house for two whole weeks, and scarcely bowed to us when coming out of church. Miss Pollingray idolises him spoils him. She says that he is worth twenty of Charles. Nous savons ce que nous savons, nous autres. Charles is wild, but Charles would be above these littlenesses. How could Miss Pollingray comprehend the romance of Charles's nature?
There I saw my Prince Leboo, and gave him a thousand caresses. 'He knows me already, I said. Then he is some degrees in advance of me, said Mr. Pollingray. Is not cold dissection of one's character a cruel proceeding? And I think, too, that a form of hospitality like this by which I am invited to be analysed at leisure, is both mean and base. To proceed: the dinner hour arrived.
Charles, when he says of him that he is a 'gentleman in a good state of preservation, means to be ironical. I doubt whether Charles at fifty would object to have the same said of Mr. Charles Everett. Mr. Pollingray has always looked to his health. He has not been disappointed. I am sure he was always very good.
Pollingray seems happy now. Her idea of my wits must be that they are of the schoolgirl order a perfect receptacle for indefinite impressions. 'Ah! said she. 'Gilbert has burnt his heart to ashes by this time. I slept with that sentence in my brain. In the morning, I rose and dressed, dreaming.

Pollingray, who's but three years her junior, should look at least twenty years younger at the very least. His moustache and beard are of the colour of a corn sheaf, and his blue eyes shining over them remind me of summer. That describes him. He is summer, and has not fallen into his autumn yet. Miss Pollingray helped me to talk a little.
I had been speaking aside in a casual manner to my friend Amble, whose idea is that the Church is not represented with sufficient strength in the Commons, and who at once, as I perceived, grasped the notion of getting me to promote sundry measures connected with schools and clerical stipends, for his eyes dilated; he said: 'Well, if you do, I can put you up to several things, and imparting the usual chorus of yesses to his own mind, he continued absently: 'Pollingray might be made strong on church rates.
